Make a donation

There are lots of ways you can choose to make a donation and show your support. Whether you make a one-off donation online, give in-person at one of our cash and contactless donation points or choose to pay what you wish for your exhibition visit. You can also become a Friend or join The Marlay Group. 

The vital income generated through your donations helps us deliver all areas of our work, and every donation makes a big difference.

Other ways you can donate

Give in-person 

If you're planning a visit, you can donate as little or as much as you wish using our cash donation boxes or contactless points throughout the Museum. If you’re booking exhibition tickets, our visitor experience team will ask if you’d like to pay what you wish for your visit. Although entry to our exhibitions and displays remains free, please consider making a donation.
